"Improvised" maple walnut cookies. They were very, very loosely based on an internet recipe that called for baking soda. That was pretty much all you could taste in the cookies. Blech.

5. Favourite pickled item?

I don't really like pickled anything... wait, are capers pickled? I can handle small quantities of capers.

6. How do you organize your recipes?

I don't.

7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?

Compost.

8. If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 foods…what would they be (don’t worry about how you’ll cook them)?

Hmm. Right now, the whim says kale, pears, and chocolate.

9. Fondest food memory from your childhood?

My grandmother used to make hundreds of Christmas cookies each year, and that's not a child's exaggeration--she would make 4 dozen or so of at least four or five kinds. I was in cookie heaven. So were my many cookie-fiend uncles.

10. Favourite vegan ice cream?

The fruit-sweetened Soy Delicious, particularly almond-pecan. It hurts me that I can't find it anywhere near me.

11. Most loved kitchen appliance?

It's a tie between my cast iron pan and my immersion blender. I couldn't do anything in the kitchen without either.

12. Spice/herb you would die without?

Cinnamon, without contest. But I'm also very fond of cloves, oregano, and yellow curry powder.

13. Cookbook you have owned for the longest time?

I had an Alphabet Cookbook when I was little (one recipe for every letter of the alphabet), and my mom and I always made pinwheel cookies from it together. When I go home over winter break, I'm going to try and find it and do some veganizing.

This post has made me very hungry for some reason. Wait, not for some reason, it's because I want some birthday cake, darnit! I'm also very jealous of your immersion blender and your vanilla pods... must put those on the x-mas list...
